54 The ARC user interface keeps a local list of active jobs in the users
55 home directory (see arcsub(1)). If this file is lost, or the user wants
56 to recreate the file on a different computer,the arcsync command can be
57 used to recreate the file from the information available the specified
58 cluster or index server.
59 Since the information about a job retrieved from a cluster can be
61 slightly out of date if the user very recently submitted or removed a
62 job a warning is issued when this command is run. The -force option
63 disables this warning.
64 The --cluster options can be used to select or reject clusters that
66 should be considered in the synchronization. This options can be
67 repeated several times. See arcsub(1) for a discussion of the format
68 of arguments to this option.
69 If the joblist is not empty when invoking synchronization the old jobs
71 will be merged with the new jobs, unless the --truncate option is
72 given, in which case the joblist will first be truncated and then the
73 new jobs will be added.
74
77 ~/.arc/client.conf
78 Some options can be given default values by specifying them in
79 the ARC client configuration file. By using the --conffile
80 option a different configuration file can be used than the
81 default.
82 ~/.arc/jobs.xml
85 This is a local list of the user's active jobs. When a job is
86 successfully submitted it is added to this list and when it is
87 removed from the remote cluster it is removed from this list.
88 This list is used as the list of all active jobs when the user
89 specifies the --all option to the various NorduGrid ARC user
90 interface commands. By using the --joblist option a different
91 file can be used than the default.
92
95 X509_USER_PROXY
96 The location of the user's grid proxy file. Shouldn't be set
97 unless the proxy is in a non-standard location.
98 ARC_LOCATION
101 The location where ARC is installed can be specified by this
102 variable. If not specified the install location will be deter‐
103 mined from the path to the command being executed, and if this
104 fails a WARNING will be given stating the location which will be
105 used.
106 ARC_PLUGIN_PATH
109 The location of ARC plugins can be specified by this variable.
110 Multiple locations can be specified by separating them by : (;
111 in Windows). The default location is $ARC_LOCATION/lib/arc (\ in
112 Windows).
